Foxy And Her Guardian 133: The Final Round (Who Was Karina?)
(Before) (When Faith went to meet the elders)Faith couldn’t comprehend what this old lady just told her. She sat on the floor, beside the fireplace. A soft fire crackled beside her while she held a clay cup with herbal tea in it. The woman, who told Faith that her name is Dika, sat on her rocking chair. That chair was the only piece of furniture in the room. Other than that there was only a handmade rug on the floor on which Faith sat. Dika insisted she tries her herbal tea. Faith was hesitant to accept it, but the old lady made one for Faith and one for herself anyway. The two women were yet to converse. Faith has been so stunned to hear that her biological mother was Dika’s granddaughter, which makes her Dika’s great-granddaughter. She could process it. She wonders how many lies she has been living since. “I know you are surprised, my child,” Dika said. There was an accent in her words. Anyone could tell just by listening to her that she doesn’t speak English as her first language
Foxy And Her Guardian 134: The Final Round (The Truth About Karina)
(Flashback to Dika and Faith’s Meeting)“I never liked Aldo. She deceived my daughter and started a family back in the city, But still, I don’t think he is the one that killed Karina.” Dika spoke out her fears. “I didn’t know much that happened between him and Karina, but from what she used to tell me – she was happy with him. He was keeping her very happy. She once wrote to me and in that letter, she said that she trusts Aldo and that he treats her so well. I still have those letters,” Dika added. Faith felt conflicted. She doesn’t know how to react. She was still trying to process that her mother wasn’t just Aldo’s mistress as she was told. She was married to Aldo. Faith held the pictures in her hands as evidence. Her mind went to Aurora Ricci, Mateo’s mother. She looked at Dika, “Dika, have you ever met Aurora?” She asked. Dika heaved a sigh, “Briefly, only once. That too a long time ago, even before Karina and Aldo got married. She seemed like a decent lady, a little proud, but
Foxy And Her Guardian 135: The Final Round (Family)
Faith didn’t know how to feel. She was conflicted. Her mind wasn’t working. She doesn’t know whom to believe and whom to not. She pressed her lips thinly and looked at Mateo. Even in this graving situation, she couldn’t read that man. He looked concerned because of the gun that was pointed at her by Jeremy, but she couldn’t understand if Mateo already knew about everything Jeremy just said. Where else, Kai was a different story. He looked close to tears. Faith couldn’t tell if it was because of what Jeremy just said, or if it was because of Jeremy himself. Faith knows that Kai doesn’t want to lose his brother. He already lost almost all his family. Faith gulped, “Why am I too blamed for this?” She wanted this to end. She already had enough of all this. She wanted everyone to live. She was here to protect Mateo and Kai, but she also doesn’t want to hurt Jeremy. Even when Jeremy was glaring at her with his gun pointed at her, she knows he hated this all just as much as she does. She do
Foxy And Her Guardian 136: The Final Round (On The Run)
“Where are we going to find Jeremy?” Faith asked Mateo, as the two of them were sitting still on a big rock near a hollow steep. They had their eyes on the ocean that shone under the setting sun. They weren’t looking at each other. A lot changed in a matter of minutes between them. They are not addressing them now. They both are completely drained. “I don’t know,” Mateo muttered. Faith looked at her interestingly. He is the man who always has an answer but now here he sat beside her with no clear answer to give. She looked at him closely. The man hasn’t slept. He hasn’t eaten. He looks tired, but not just physically. He is just as mentally drained as physically. He felt her eyes on him. He turned his head to look at her. She had a small scar on the top of her eyebrow. He clicked his tongue and brought his hand to her eyebrow. He traced his dirty thumb under the scar, making sure he doesn’t touch the open wound, “You got hurt.”She faintly chuckled, “Look who is talking.” She shook he
Foxy And Her Guardian 137: Classic Ethan
Kai and Piper were standing in the middle of the road. Kai’s men were all scattered around, but none of them were looking for Jeremy/Dario. Kai has ordered them not to. “So, we are just going to let him escape?” Piper asked Kai, who look worn down. Kai sighed and nodded his head. Piper clicked her tongue and added, “What if he doesn’t stop after this, Kai? What if he escapes now but tries to do something else later? Are you really going to risk it?” Kai sharply looked at her, “He is my brother, Piper. You don’t understand.” “I understand, Kai. I would have stood by your side if he wasn’t casting danger over us. You heard him, he is not going to change his mind.” She pointed out.Kai clenched his jaws and glared at her, “So, what am I supposed to do, Piper? Kill me, brother? He is my family.”Piper glared back at him, “Your family is trying to kill you, Kai. Don’t be an idiot and think that he is going to spare our lives only because you will tell him to. Yes, he will spare you, but
Foxy And Her Guardian 138: Run, Benji, Run!
Piper was angrily striding out in the dark, but her anger couldn’t hold the impact because Faith was following her. Piper was already furious with Kai and Faith following her wordlessly wasn’t making it any easy for her. Piper halted and jerked her head around to see Faith stopping as well, a few feet away from her. She glared at Faith, “I don’t need anyone to follow me, Faith. Leave me alone. I don’t want you or anyone else coming after me.” She hotly said and resumed her walk towards nowhere. “Piper, come on, please – listen to me. You have every right to be mad at Kai, but what did I do? Why are you so mad at me?” Faith didn’t stop following her. Piper stopped walking, almost making Faith bump into her. She didn’t turn around, so Faith walked around to face her. Piper had a deep scowl on her face, “Seriously, I am as mad at Kai as you are. I would love to kick his ass with you, but at the same time, I know he didn’t mean it, Piper. He is just in a very difficult state. I am tellin
Foxy And Her Guardian 139: He Got Him
Benji ran. He ran as fast as he could. He ran to the point where all he could hear was his own heartbeat and labored breath. He turned around while running to see his sister, but Piper wasn’t following him. His eyes filled with tears. Piper wasn’t there, but nobody else was there either. It was too silent. Everything was too still. “Piper,” he muttered under his breath and turn his head once more to see if maybe she appears in his line of vision, but he was left disappointed and dejected when he didn’t see her. He was shaking again. His vision was blurry due to the tears in his eyes. He squeezed his eyes tightly to get rid of them, and that was when he collided with someone. He gasped and with his eyes still closed he tried to pull away, but whoever it was held his arm and shook him. “No! No! Piper!!” He called for her sister whom he wasn’t sure if he will ever be able to see again. The person didn’t let him go even though he was screaming, instead, they shook him up, making Benji op
Foxy And Her Guardian 140: The War's Over
“You have completely lost your mind, Jeremy! What the fuck do you want?!” Levi yelled at him while pointing his gun at Jeremy. Jeremy and his men had their guns pointed at Levi and Kai. Kai was completely stunned and broken. His eyes were fixed on Piper, who was on the floor, back facing him. She wasn’t moving. At one point, his mind stopped working. He couldn’t comprehend why was she not moving. He slowly blinked. He wanted to call her name, but words would form in his mind. Even if they did, he know they will not escape his mouth. Jeremy grunted, “I want you all dead!” Jeremy replied. “How hard is it to understand that the longer you people are around the innocents will keep dropping dead? You all are the reason why my wife died. She was innocent. You all killed her! I am going to kill you all!” Jeremy loaded his gun and jabbed it at Levi’s head but still, Kai was not moving. He was completely deadened. His eyes were on Piper. Her hair was covering her face, he couldn’t see if her

Foxy And Her Guardian (END) Epilogue (Part 2)
A good day came months after. The people of the village finally got their freedom. When that happened, week-long celebrations were held at the village, and all of them were invited, especially, Faith, Mateo, and Kai. It was a joyous occasion. Even when everyone was dreading back where they all spend the worst days of their lives, of course, they went anyway. Hesitant at first, everyone had a great time. Faith had never seen the people of the village have such a festive spirit. It was truly a beautiful week. Faith spends most of her time with her grandmother, Kami, and his family. Benji didn’t want to go with them, but when Kami asked – he couldn’t say no. Lora (Kami’s sister) was there to welcome everyone. Everyone could see how excited Benji got when he saw her. Piper and Kai exchanged a knowing glance. Benji has a crush on Lora. He had it since he came here for the first time. After he returned to the city, he kept in contact with her in one way or another. Faith was happy to see
Foxy And Her Guardian Epilogue (1/2)
(One Year Later)Even today when Faith closes her eyes and thinks about her recent past, she can’t truly process it. She can’t believe that so much changed in the past couple of years. From losing her entire family to almost getting killed to find a new family – a new purpose – everything in her life was nothing less than a lesson – a brutal and painful lesson. Currently, she was sitting in a meeting along with Kai and Mateo – but they weren’t the only ones there. The three of them were hosts, while the other distant members of the Ricci and Bianchi clan, a few mafia leaders, and a couple of correspondents from the village were in the room. The debate was on – whether the village/island should be given its independence or not.Faith was sitting in between Kai and Mateo. She averted her gaze to the other side of the room where Kami sat along with a few young faces representing the village. Faith could tell that the young boy was nervous. She shoots him an assuring smile. Kami smiled ba
Foxy And Her Guardian 158: The Drunken Troublemakers
Kai didn’t say anything in return. He just impassively stared at Mateo before they were interrupted by Faith and Piper’s loud laughter. Both looked at the girls to find that Ethan had managed to pull Levi into the pool. He grabbed Levi’s ankle and pulled him in, making the water splash around and the girls laugh. Mateo heaved a sigh and shook his head as he watched his friend emerge from under the water, not looking much impressed. Noel was standing behind Levi when Ethan pulled him in, he was now watching them two. Ethan laughed and splashed some water towards him with his hand, “What are you doing up there loser? Get in!” Noel shook his head, “No, and you need to come out too.” He looks at all of them, “You all do. It is chilly and the water is cold,” he added. “It is not that cold,” Piper replied. It was because Kai switch on the heater to warm up the water, but that’s mean it was okay to be in a pool on a chilly night under the sky. Just at that moment, Piper sneezed. That was i
Foxy And Her Guardian 157: More Like A Family
Faith and Piper were wasted. If having one drink after another wasn’t enough, they were now drinking straight out of the bottle. “We should go swimming,” Faith slurred a suggestion to which Piper enthusiastically nodded her head, agreeing to it. Before anyone could stop them, an equally drunk Ethan got on his feet and threw his fist in the air, “Hell yeah! Let’s go!!” he yelled out and hooted. Everyone else was so concerned about Faith and Piper that they didn’t even notice just how much Ethan was drinking. These three were completely wasted. Noel was slightly tipsy. Where else, Levi, Mateo, and Kai only had a single drink so they weren’t drunk at all. They decided to stay sober to keep an eye on girls, and well – now Ethan as well. “Excellent,” Levi muttered under his breath and pinched the bridge of his nose. He moved to Ethan, who was swinging from one side to another with a bottle of one of the most expensive whiskeys in his hand. Kai glanced at the bottle in his hand. He didn’t
Foxy And Her Guardian 156: Let's Celebrate!
Faith was in her room, changing with there was a knock on her door. Her room was now filled with done and undone boxes. She will be moving out tomorrow and there is so much left to do. But currently, she wasn’t focused on it. She is certain that she will be able to pack before the movers arrive. She was concerned about the dinner party they were having tonight. Faith had already invited everyone and now she was changing for the night. By the knock on the door, she was certain that Mateo has arrived. She quickly picked up the clothes she threw on the floor and put them on the bed before she spoke, “Yes?” The door opened and indeed it was Mateo. He looked good. Fresh and well-rested. It took everyone over a month to get over what happened on the island. The exhaustion and trauma (for some) didn’t leave for days. Mateo was looking like he did when Faith first met him. The difference between then and now is that then he had a hard scowl on his face, and now he was smiling. Then he threw
Foxy And Her Guardian 155: Anything For Piper
“Are you all packed up?” Piper asked Faith who came to her room to visit. Faith looked at Piper and smiled. “Yes, almost. Just a few things are remaining to be packed,” she replied. In two days, Faith is moving in with Mateo. For the past week, she has been very busy. She didn’t realize how comfortable she has gotten at Kai’s place, that now that she was winding everything up here, she feels sad to be leaving. When she started packing, she was excited. For her, moving in with Mateo is like a new chapter of her life, but as she proceeded, she realized how uncomfortable yet relieving it is to end this brief, daunting, and challenging chapter of her life. Piper was sitting on the bed, reading, when Faith knocked on her door. She exhaled and smiled broadly at her, “So, are you excited?” She asked. Faith chuckled and sat on the bed beside her, “I am.” She nodded her head, “But I am also nervous. There are so many ifs and buts in my head that I can hardly sleep at night,” she replied hon
Foxy And Her Guardian 154: The Good News
“Thank you,” Piper hugged and thanked Faith, before she looked at Mateo, “Thank you both of you. I don’t know what would have happened if it wasn’t for you two. I would have been living on the streets,” she added. “Hey!” “What the hell?” Levi and Kai spoke at the same time. Piper pulled her eyebrows together and looked at both of them. Kai was frowning while Levi stepped forward, “What do you mean you would have been on the streets? Are you kidding me? I would have never let you be on street. Damn, I thought you thought of me as a friend, but boy was I wrong.” Levi scoffed. Where Kai just watched her dumbfounded. She softly chuckled at Levi. “Oh, I would have never bothered you. You already got your hands full,” she told him bobbing her head towards Benji’s room. The door of Benji’s room was open and inside everyone can see Benji and Ethan playing video games. They were so engrossed by what they were playing that they didn’t even notice the people outside looking at them. Ethan and
Foxy And Her Guardian 153: The Crazy Ones
Kai squinted his eyes. When he was coming out of Piper’s room, he did not expect Faith, Mateo, and Benji right outside – watching him walk out of the room. Their curious gazes made him feel like he was sneaking out of her room after a one-night stand. Mateo was shamelessly smirking at him. Faith was curiously watching him, and Benji had his eyes narrowed at him. Kai cleared his throat and ignored Mateo’s comment and Faith’s question. He was about to tell them that they shouldn’t be so nosy when the doorbell rang. Faith and Mateo pulled their eyebrows together and looked at each other, “Who is here so early in the morning?” She muttered and watched as one of the helpers opened the door. It was Levi and Ethan. “What are you two doing here so early?” Mateo asked with his eyebrows knitted together. Levi didn’t look good. He looked like he didn’t sleep all night. Ethan looked tired as well, but not as exhausted as Levi. Levi glared at Ethan at Mateo’s question. Levi heaved a sigh. His sh
Foxy And Her Guardian 152: Back Together
Kai has been inside Piper’s room for an hour. He was now sitting on the floor while she was sitting on the floor as well but she sat by the window. She was watching outside the window while her knees pressed to her chest and her arms wrapped around them. While her eyes were fixed outside, Kai’s eyes were fixed on her. They have been talking for the last hour. No yelling or name was calling. There were no accusations, nor did they completely patch up – they were just talking, which was due for some time now. They fight. They have had sex. They have done everything, but they never get the chance to sit and just talk about themselves. About their insecurities, about their feelings, about everything they bring to each other. Piper last put forward a very interesting point, “Aren’t we toxic for each other? There is just too much we don’t agree on.” She had muttered. Her point was quite simple. She told him that even if Jeremy hadn’t attacked her or anyone else, and even if he was just try
